Where does it say written anything in that pledge? You're a gibbering ninny.
I brought up the employed Polish children to show they could have done this with the Jews, but they didn't.
Oh ok. Well, the record shows that this sort of thing i.e. Courts, trials, executions, corporal punishment is written down in triplicate.
But in your special case non of this applies. Ok.
Got a record of phone call? Let's say it's 1941, and Himmler calls the camp commandant Hoss and says "Hoss!! Unser Panser divisionen are tearing across the volga!!!
Jetzt ist der zeig !! Gas all 3 million of der judenschwine bestimmt!! Schnell!!!
After all, Hoss literally confessed to killing 3 million right!
No? No specific, detailed, pertinent and timely record? Oh dear.
Of course !! They could have done x, y and z with the Jews but didn't. Thus gas chambers. Never mind anything else. Is that it?
Yes. Because the most immediate priority was using them as labor for the war. If they were usable for the purpose, they would invest in (cheap and primitive) health care and food for them.
Wanting your Jews to work for the war doesn't mean you want to kill them later, everyone in Europe was working for the war. Everyone in Europe was on rations. Your clear bias is on display.
Surgery isn't cheap and primitive. Neither was Vhf technology. Or laboratories.
If they were sick but otherwise able bodied, they were not killed, but could get some time to recover and even get primitive health care to help them recover. Why? Because the Nazis wanted them to work for their war effort. War production was so important by 1943 and 1944 that it could even buy a (temporary) reprieve for able bodied Jews.
Why mention primitive again? Your clear bias is on full display.
There's nothing wrong with getting Jews to work for the war. There was no such thing as temporary reprieve.
As Mattognos own source Primo Levi says, only “economically useful” Jews (ie Jews who could be put to work in the camp) were given health care. The vast majority were deemed incapable of work and gassed at arrival. Levi also says that if the Jewish patients receiving health care did not recover, they were gassed.
Primo Levi wasn't gassed either and saw only what he could see. The rest was the rumour mill. Why didn't you quote Mattogno like I asked you to? Do you have something to hide?
Re demoralization, People are also demoralized when they are enslaved. The Nazis were not interested in the psychological well being of the Jews. The threat of brutal corporal punishment for “slacking” (which even mattogno acknowledges) was enough to keep the slaves working.
Another lie. The nazis were interested in psychological wellbeing. Thus amenities. Thus good treatment. Thus preventing brutality.
Re working to death I am not going to repeat my point again, reread it, I have provided explicit documentary proof that, in 1942, german officials ordered Jews worked to death.
I also mentioned that German labor needs and labor policies changed throughout the war. Suffice it to say that, as even mattogno acknowledges, death rates were sky high in the concentration camps (the large majority of all slave laborers, not just Jews, had died) when the SS higher ups intervened to improve ‘labor efficiency’ in 1943.
I disproved your stupid interpretation by pointing out actual practices backed by original documents. Repeat your rubbish all you like. What I showed trumps what you showed.
Labor needs didn't change at all. The need to make extra effort to keep them alive did as per the conditions.
As a side note, it is Ieresting how these 1943 requested improvements in food, sleep, etc, which mattogno based his book on, were justified (in the documents he cites) only in terms of labor efficiency.
If all Jews were fed and given health care (your interpretation), that makes no sense. After all only a small minority of Jews were laborers at Auschwitz.
Indeed. Is there some other pertinent reason to direct Reich resources other than efficiency? Were the jews not being fed at all?
Only a small number of Jews were workers. Yet no distinction was made. Everyone was fed and treated according to need. Not on religion. Not on work ability. No document details any such thing. Why though? It's simple. Starving some while feeding others is inefficient, disorderly, destroys morale and rather upsetting, when grandma can't have soup but you can. This seems to baffle you that nazis like anyone else would want everyone to get along.
Re “excellent health care”, surgeries were also performed in the gulags. Would you say Stalinist gulags had excellent health care?
Surgery is the highest form of health care. So to the extent that facilities had surgical departments then yes. Of course. Unless this surgery was sub par and deliberately so. Is that it?
